5. Sim oh sim, helluva thing isn’t it. Yes I am just gonna use the sim to cover for my ranting here, I more or less want to vent, OK. Minitopic one, sim in the 2 minute drill. Alright, minute to go, its the championship of the DSFL, down by 5, got the whole field to go. Your coach gods from above have set the target preference to outside, you have Andre Benn (reigning MVP WR and quite possible the best WR in the DSFL to ever do it) to pass to on the outside, so who do you throw it to? Just check it down to our TE for the entire minute. No go routes, no thats silly, just the same 5 yard curl route. I just, why, the season to end like that? Ok, the real reason I wanted to do this rant was because of Minnesota, the Grey Ducks not the timberwolves. Often, I do not get to voice my displeasure for team performance about other teams, in terms of gamesmanship i normally keep it to myself, but no one reads these. Who? The grader, thats it? Ok, ahem, HOW DO YOU NOT WIN THE ULTIMINI WITH THAT ROSTER 2 TIMES IN A ROW. You had over, what 4000 tpe combined on your roster, even more if I remember. And the closest team to you was in the very low 3000 tpe levels. You had every, single position nearly maxed. 2 maxed RBs, 2 maxed receivers, your entire front 7 on defense was maxed save for a rookie who earned over 200 tpe during the season, then 4 maxed DBs. You had this, for 2 seasons, and had a 21-7 record, a winning record of .75, which is normally perfectly fine, but when you have this level of a roster, any season less than 12-2 is not the best, given a lot of teams have done a lot more, with a lot less. You should be absolutely creaming teams left and right, which in fairness last season ya did. And honestly the regular season is a nitpick, honestly. It really doesn’t matter as long as you walk away with hardware. which you didn't. Not only did you not win a single ultimini, you didn’t even make the fucking championship. You are the Dallas Cowboys of the DSFL.You’ve been bounced twice from far inferior division rivals, twice. A wise man once said “One time is funny, two times is fucking annoying no?!”. When we, TIJ, have to test against MINN, I am always in awe in how its not a blowout. That defense should be enough to stop any team scoring a point, however everyone on MINN but everything into speed. Combine this, with some of the most baffling sim decisions know to man, and you get the most pedestrian 21-7 squad ever. You had all of this talent, and ya blew it. Do you understand what this is? This is a monument to mediocrity you have built. All this wasted talent could have gone and built another whole team, and the Grey Ducks still would have been competitors. I don’t even know if I can draw this to the “sim being the sim”. No team can get this shafted. If they were invincibles during the the regular season and lost those 2 conference champions, then the convo is about just about one of the best teams not winning it all and not having a chance, but the sim didn’t give them that grace. I know this most likely isn’t the war rooms fault after pulling off the heist of the century on LON, so who was it, who is to blame. Sim team or the sim itself?
